Hey, I'm Layla and this is the seated leg lift.

You're just going to sit with both legs out, you can do this against a wall if you want to make sure you keep your back flat and you're sitting up nice and tall, shoulders back and chest up. From here, if you're not against the wall, or even if you are, you can place your hands by your sides and all we're doing is we're lifting our legs up and down, this is really going to target that quad area, the front of the legs here at the thigh. All you're going to do is, you're going to keep your foot flexed, take one leg up and down, up and down, up and down, just like that. Making sure the abs stay nice and tight, shoulders rolled back, chest up, keeping that posture. You're going to feel this right away on that quad area and you can do 10 - 12 reps on each side, taking the leg up and down, up, down, just like that.
